CLOSED NOVICA $40 Giveaway
Tuesday, June 29, 2010 Posted by Aleksandra Nearing
NOVICA wants to give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity. NOVICA wants to provide you with access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values that only the Internet infrastructure can allow. NOVICA carries a wide variety of products from across the world and you are sure to find something you love. Their products include area rugs, chess sets and games, furniture, home decor, African masks, mirrors, musical instruments, sculpture, vases, wall hangings, jewelry, apparel and paintings. NOVICA has a gift finder section on their website that also helps to sort through their extensive collection when searching for a gift - for yourself or for a loved one!
Since I am a jewelry fanatic, I had headed straight for the necklaces to pick out something special to review. I ordered the purple necklace pictured here for my review item. It arrived packed in a lovely jewelry box with a note from the NOVICA Thailand team. There were also instructions for returns - not that I need those! The necklace is gorgeous and I am so very pleased with my choice. I could tell the artist spend considerable time intertwining iridescent pearls, rose quart and amethyst to create the necklace. The chain is unlike any I have seen before, too. I like that the clasp opens and secures easily and has a little dangly chain at the end with a lone pearl hanging down. With shipping to my home, this necklace was just around $45.
BUY IT
You can browse a wide variety of items online and narrow them down by material, price, function and more. I focused on jewelry and found a very large variety of items. The checkout process was easy - you can even pay through Paypal. The shipping fees were extremely reasonable - only $2.99 for my necklace shipped to the US! Shipping rates do vary to other countries. I saw that first time customers could use code "NOVICA243" to get $10 off a $40 purchase.WIN IT
NOVICA has offered a $40 gift certificate to one US reader! You can browse the wide selection of products on their website and purchase whatever strikes your fancy. Lucky you!
